5-6-10 oh you poor poor car indeed. spun a rod bearing yesterday... ...hybrid time! just gotta borrow the money from my wife! (fun) brandon at all-pro is taking care of the installation for me so thank you brandon. just a quick question though, should i go ahead and fork out the extra 210 bucks for the 1.5 mm cosworth head gaskets? anybody? never really looked into it too much. here we go on the story of the little engine that could can and is a beast for doing so. i bought my 02 sedred wrx in the middle of 03 when the blobeyes came out. i got it in fayetteville north carolina, they said "we got a blue one we got a white one (wagon (woulda shoulda coulda)) and we got our demo." so i say how much for the demo(yeah cheapass!)." well we're not suposed to demo these cars but nobody wants that color." WHAT? nobody wants that beautiful red bulbus car. well how much? "20k" ok i don't want it either. "wait wait" 0 down 19k that's what i'll do for it. "OK" .... OK? really? kick ass! so anyways at that time i was a student at uncw and was just using it to commute because my warrior was a 4 door honda accord that could kill at slalom. it was the prelude version of electron blue pearl and had the h swap towards the end of our time together. yeah it was fried rice but subtle. no kit no wing just shaved the emblems and the trim, to much money in the suspension and wheels. so the suby was my daily driver and at that time and even now my dream car. but i didn't always treat it like that. you see in my last year at college i met my fiance who turned my whole shit upside down. so i left school and moved to florida. in doing so i managed to equip my bone stock with a trailer hitch and bought a 5x8 enclosed trailer. (not my idea). the day we moved it had a sofa bed futon motorcycle and boxes of random shit in it. weighed in over 2200 lbs, well past the recommended towing capacity and 220 lbs tongue weight. the whole way i'll i was thinking is " oh sit ohshit ohshit ohshit, when's it gonna give" but it didn't and aside from that it pulled the trailer harder than my ranger ever could, it pulled like a f-ing champ. the trailering rex made it from NC to FL back to NC and then down to ATL not one problem, one set of tires, two allignments and two services and it's still pulling strong, not a single engine knock and never a tranny problem. the reliability of these cars really speaks for itself. yeah the 02s had some problems but so does ever car the first year they translate them to yankee. but i don't care my little demo is a beast. it has respnded well to mods since the trailer fiascoe and it runs like new to this day!
more pics and if anyone is interested in more pics of the orb thing infront of my car there are four of them in my house and they show up on every kind of camera dig or analog, and flash in video, i have more pics of them.
More pics of the orb thingy!!! is it allways in the same place? Can you make it look like a persons throwing it?
glad those springs worked out for ya. hey i have some tools now, want to try and knock out those helix uppipes sometime?
i dun it! i dun it! i found srp in a spray can it's under a honda color name but my body shop guy told me it's the same color code. i tried the flat black interior thing but it got boring, i apologize if it's too rice for anyone but i like it, the red black contrast is far more interesting to the ol' peepers. also im sorry for the quick shoddy pix and dirty interior but my week has been hell.
Looks so much better in person. Looks classy in SRP but I dont think any other car except silver would be able to pull it off.
bc's and a vf 48 just a couple of pics after the vf 48 and BC coilovers where installed. car's pretty dirty and the parts have been on for a little while now, i've just been so busy!
Hey man, it was awesome to meet you and WRXWRC by chance at Advance the other day. I didn't realize until later, but I'd seen your ride outside of the Candler Park Market one day and thought it was awesome that it has a kid's seat in it. Makes me think that one day the lady won't hate my wagon so much because it can carry around young ones in safety.
yeah and having a kid makes me wish i had a wagon. anybody want to trade me a stock 04 xt for the rex?
yeah, i saw someone else in town with this combo but i've been rocking this style for almost two years so i consider myself the originator of the iron man look
LOL...I have two kids seats in mine. My kids love to ride in my car....I always get the "Make it do that noise again".....That would be the turbo at full boost noise they are talking about
